I portici e la Basilica di Santo Stefano in via XX a Genova

The porticos and the Basilica of Santo Stefano on Via XX in Genoa.
Via XX Settembre, one of the main arteries of Genoa, is famous for its elegant porticos and the historic Basilica of Santo Stefano. This place is a meeting point between modern architecture and the centuries-old history of the city.
The porticos of Via XX Settembre are a symbol of elegance and functionality. Built in the 19th century, the porticos provide shelter and shade to pedestrians, allowing them to stroll along the street in any weather condition. The imposing columns and neoclassical arches create an atmosphere of grandeur and refinement. Under the porticos, there are luxury boutiques, cafés and historic shops that add to the charm of this iconic street.
Located in the heart of Via XX Settembre, the Basilica of Santo Stefano is an architectural jewel that dates back to the 5th century. The church is a remarkable example of Genoese Romanesque architecture, with its simple yet elegant façade and interior rich in history and art.
The basilica was built on the ruins of an older church and has undergone numerous modifications and restorations over the centuries. The current structure, with its single nave and side chapels, still retains elements of the original Romanesque style. Inside, you can admire frescoes, sculptures and works of sacred art that tell the religious and cultural history of Genoa.
Via XX Settembre and the Basilica of Santo Stefano represent a meeting point between the past and the present of Genoa. The arcades, with their timeless elegance, and the basilica, with its thousand-year history, offer visitors a unique experience of discovery and contemplation.
Walking under the arcades of Via XX Settembre and visiting the Basilica of Santo Stefano is a journey through the history, art and culture of Genoa. These emblematic places are a must for anyone who wants to discover the beating heart of the city.

The Archivolt of Via Gerolamo Boccardo in Genoa

L'Archivolto di via Gerolamo Boccardo a Genova

The Archivolt of Via Gerolamo Boccardo in Genoa
Walking along the beautiful Via XX Settembre in Genoa, as I have already written to you many times, I almost always keep my nose in the air to enjoy all the beauty and details found there.
Just like this beautiful archivolt (or perhaps it is more of a terrace) that unites these two buildings, giving rise to the short street dedicated to an illustrious Genoese: Gerolamo Boccardo.

Here is where the archivolt is located:

Gerolamo Boccardo (Genoa, March 16, 1829 – Rome, March 20, 1904) was an Italian economist and politician. He was a senator of the Kingdom of Italy in the XIII legislature. After completing his high school studies, in 1844 he enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Genoa, but the political commitments he soon took on made him delay his graduation, which he obtained only on July 2, 1849. In 1847 he was elected president of the Società Entellica di Chiavari, recently moved to Genoa. During this period he worked as a journalist at the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, working to promote the transformation of the newspaper from an exclusively commercial newspaper to a political and economic newspaper.

Uno scorcio di Salita Salvatore Viale a Genova

Uno scorcio di Salita Salvatore Vitale a Genova

Uno scorcio di Salita Salvatore Viale a Genova.
A dire la verità in questo scatto non si vede proprio la salita che ho inserito nel titolo ma non sapevo proprio come nominare il post.
In realtà si vede un bello scorcio di alcuni palazzi, ripresi da via Venti Settembre (all’altezza del Ponte Monumentale), che per essere raggiunti si deve percorrere la Salalita dedicata a Salvatore Vitale.

Aggiornamento: erroneamente avevo scritto Vitale senza trovare nessuna corrispondenza. Come mi hanno fatto notare in moltissimi c’era un errore di ortografia: il nome corretto è Salvatore Viale di cui ho trovato diverse informazioni!

Dove si trova il punto in cui ho scattato la foto:

Salvatore Viale (Bastia, 6 settembre 1787 – Bastia, 23 novembre 1861) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e magistrato còrso, il primo autore a impiegare la lingua corsa in un’opera di rilievo letterario, la Dionomachia (1817). Formatosi alle idee liberali, svolse un ruolo di rilievo nel recupero della tradizione culturale del popolo còrso e difese il ruolo della lingua italiana come lingua colta dell’isola.
A Viale è stata dedicata una salita a Genova nei pressi della centralissima via XX Settembre (precedentemente intitolata ad Antoine Christophe Saliceti).

The two-tone arcades of Twenty September street

La bicromia dei portici di via Venti Settembre a Genova

The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa.
The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa are one of the most distinctive and fascinating architectural elements of the city. Via Venti Settembre is one of the main arteries of the center of Genoa and its arcades are known for their elegant two-tone decorations, a typical decorative style that uses two contrasting colors to create suggestive visual effects.

Typically, the two-tone effect is achieved using white marble and black slate, a local stone very common in Ligurian architecture. This contrast of colors creates a very strong and distinctive visual effect.
The decorative motifs in the porticos often include geometric designs, such as stripes, diamonds, and zigzag patterns. These designs are designed to enhance the contrast between the two colors.
Many of the buildings along Via Venti Settembre date back to the Italian Liberty (Art Nouveau) period, and the two-tone effect is used to emphasize the sinuous lines and floral details typical of this style.
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the two-tone effect also has a practical function, as dark stones, such as slate, are more resistant to wear and stains, so they are often used in areas subject to pedestrian traffic.
The two-tone effect is not only an aesthetic choice, but also has a cultural and historical significance. It reflects the skill of the Genoese craftsmen and the historical richness of the city. It is an example of how architecture can incorporate artistic elements that tell a story and create a unique identity for a place.

Along Via Venti Settembre, some of the most iconic buildings with two-tone porticos include:
Palazzo della Borsa: an example of Art Nouveau architecture with elaborate decorations.
Chiesa della Consolazione: although not directly part of the porticos, it is a nearby landmark with a façade that incorporates two-tone elements.
Palazzi dei Rolli: some of the historic buildings along the street display this type of decoration, although the Rolli themselves are better known for other architectural features.

Where is the street located:

Via XX Settembre is one of the main roads in the centre of Genoa within the Genoese district of San Vincenzo, just under a kilometre long. It runs in an east-west direction and, together with Corso Italia – the promenade that runs along the seafront – is one of the favourite places for strolls by the Genoese. It crosses the two central districts of Portoria (first section, portico, from Piazza De Ferrari to the Monumental Bridge) and San Vincenzo (from the Monumental Bridge to the outlet on Via Cadorna near Piazza della Vittoria.

Via XX Settembre è una strada che ha avuto un’origine controversa. Fu fortemente voluta dal sindaco Andrea Podestà, ma osteggiata da parte della popolazione residente poiché per costruirla fu necessario procedere a pesanti demolizioni di case e negozi. Soprattutto furono contrari i religiosi della chiesa del Rimedio, espropriati per far passare l’arteria.
